    Essential Tools and Gear for Overlanding

    He who travels fastest travels alone. Weight is often the determining factor in physics. Hunger erases all fear. Trout don't live in ugly places. That's all I got.

    I think that is the tank I have with guage. Been working fine for several years now. Do wreck or mend. Also, have it secured with a Monkey Fist?? One of those rubber straps.

    Colorado Trip Help

    Talked to a nice BLM young lady today at my campsite up on a tributary of the Salmon R., Idaho. I had a good idea that I was on BLM land but there was no signage that indicated it was actually a designated campsite as it was. She gave me BLM map and FS map. We had a nice conversation and I...

    Colorado Trip Help

    Not specific to Colorado but my method is to search google maps in the area I am looking to explore. Scroll in to get details and then look at the satellite view to see what else it looks like. Streams show as blue lines. Looking at other maps can give additional info on terrain, etc. I am...

    cleaning cooking wear during and after a trip

    Cast iron, particularly Dutch ovens, I learnt some stuff a while back on a week-long river float on Fork of the Salmon River. The guides prepared at least one, sometimes two big meals per day in multiple Dutch ovens. They ALWAYS lined them with parchment paper. Saved much cleanup. They had...

    Bigfoot

    He lives next door. Wouldn't hardly recognize him these days since he changed jobs and went off of undercover work with the sheriff's dept.

    George Washington National Forest Dispersed Camp Sites

    If it's just me, I don't mind taking chances if I have good maps and time to do some scouting in an unfamiliar area. If I have other people that I was planning with and for I would be inclined to have a spot reserved for that first night at least. Also, During mid-week not so many others around...

    George Washington National Forest Dispersed Camp Sites

    Probably headed up on Jackson River in April. Son wants to turkey hunt. I probably just fish. Found some sites looking on google maps. Been to many NF out around the Rockies and every forest is managed differently as far as access and rules for dispersed camping. I generally map an area and...

    Any Hunters Among Us

    Eh, don't hunt so hard anymore. I like to bird hunt some and put occasional deer in the freezer. Just bought a 20 ga. single shot turkey gun with a green dot scope. That tungsten ammo supposed to be the thing. Gun is really lightweight so hoping that will help me keep up with my son. He likes...

    New 2024 Taco OffRoad

    Yeah, I don't worry too much about mpg as much as making it back home. Fully overland trip loaded at 70+ mph I get 13.5 mpg. Pulling a 4K lb. boat and trailer 8-9 mpg. Maybe 10 if running 50 mph on the level. I just unloaded everything to put it in the body shop for a little deer collision...

    outfitters in south carolina

    Don't know what's in that area. Probably anyone that advertises working on 4WD will have some working knowledge of other off-road gear. Over towards Conway or down towards Georgetown maybe. Plenty of country boys around that can rig most anything.

    2024 RESOLUTIONS???

    If you haven't been to the Outer Banks, NC, might want to put that on your list. Been in the Fall a couple of times when they open up most all the shore down towards Hatteras and over at Ocracoke to vehicles. (After all the shorebirds have done their thing) Anyway, the real draw ended up...

    Non Lethal self protection

    Non-lethally speaking, I have had several occasions that a really powerful spotlight was effective at deterring wildlife and one pesky deputy that came in on my camp in the middle of the night shining lights at my tent. I flipped on the spot an hollered in my best redneck drawl, "Don't start...
